About This Collection

The Gottscho-Schleisner Collection is comprised of over
29,000 images primarily of architectural subjects,
including interiors and exteriors of homes, stores,
offices, factories, historic buildings, and other
structures. Subjects are concentrated chiefly in the
northeastern United States, especially the New York City
area, and Florida. Included are the homes of notable
Americans, such as Raymond Loewy, and of several U.S.
presidents, as well as color images of the 1939-40 New York
World's Fair. Many of the photographs were commissioned by
architects, designers, owners and architectural
publications, and document important achievements in
American 20th-century architecture and interior design.
